A Trip To MarylandAfter a second straight win, the Quinnipiac University men's soccer team (2-1, 0-0 NEC) hits the road for its toughest test away from home thus far. The Bobcats travel down south to Baltimore for a Saturday night showdown with the Greyhounds of Loyola University Maryland. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Ridley Athletic Complex.

All-Time Against Loyola (Md.)Quinnipiac holds 1-2-1 record against the Greyhounds, a rivalry that dates back to the 2008 campaign. The Bobcats are in search for their first win in Baltimore, as the home team in the series remains undefeated. Last time at Loyola, the Greyhounds escaped with a 2-1 triumph at the Ridley Athletic Complex back in 2010.

Scouting the GreyhoundsLoyola (Md.) enters this match-up with a 1-1-1 record through its first three games of the 2012 season. After failing to score a goal in their first two matches, the Greyhounds bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Cal State Northridge on Sunday afternoon. Freshman Larry Ndjock scored his first-ever collegiate goal and then tacked on a second, the game-winner, to lead Loyola past the Matadors at the Ridley Athletic Complex. Junior goalkeeper Thurman Van Riper has saved eight shots and allowed two goals in three outings.

Last Time Against The GreyhoundsSenior forward William Cavallo's goal in the 53rd minute of play was all the Quinnipiac men's soccer team needed, as it defeated Loyola (Md.) in a defensive battle, 1-0, last season at Quinnipiac Soccer Field. Cavallo's first goal of the season came at the most opportune time for the Bobcats, which granted the squad its second victory of the season. Philip Suprise assisted Cavallo on the play.
